The first official pics of the Volvo S60 have been released, with the company describing this new sedan as the sportiest and most dynamic Volvo to date. We’ll have to wait a little while before seeing the S60 in the flesh, as its public debut is planned for the 2010 Geneva motor show in March.

We’ll probably have to wait to see the Volvo S60 live before deciding whether it’s a real competitor in this cutthroat segment, and no details on the engine range are available yet, either. On first impressions, though, the S60 looks nice and it needs to be with the looming sale of Volvo making this an important model for the brand. CEO statement after the jump.

“The all-new Volvo S60 is sculpted to move you. It looks and drives like no other Volvo before and the car’s technology will help you to be safer and more confident behind the wheel,” says Stephen Odell, President and CEO of Volvo Cars.

The Volvo S60 can be equipped with Pedestrian Detection - a groundbreaking safety feature that can detect pedestrians in front of the car and brake automatically if the driver does not react in time.

The all-new Volvo S60 is being unveiled to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in early March next year. Production of the sporty sedan model will start in early summer 2010 at the Volvo Cars plant in Ghent, Belgium.

“Customers in this segment want emotional appeal, sporty design and dynamic driving properties. The S60 has it all. We are convinced that it will be one of the strongest contenders around,” says Stephen Odell.
